Yes, we went to the hectic baby animal days at American West Heritage Center. The kids had fun seeing all the animals and as you can see Faith loves the bunnies but would not hold it. There were a ton of people thereand we had to wait in lines. Faith was definitely worn out by the time we got home. Thanks to Margaret (Greg's mom) for watching Jonah that day. But for me the cutest little animals were the baby goats. They were so little.

Here is Jonah having his first bath since he was born. I know we have only been able to give him sponge baths because of the broviac line and then everything healing. You can see that his chest scars are looking awesome. Hey!! He also just got him immunizations for 2 months and his cerc done. OOCH! He should hopefully be done with shots for a while.
These pictures I took of the kiddos one day. We are going to get family pictures soon and also just pictures of the kids to put in their rooms. And also to hang around the house because we have nothing on our walls.
He is worth it don't you think?Monday, March 2, 2009
Home At Last Hopefully To Stay!
Here is Jonah hopefully for the last time to stay home for a while. He got staff infection and they opened his incision and cleaned it out. Then he had to recover from that we were back at Primary's for another week. We got home last Monday. Just in time for Greg's birthday on March 1st. He is doing lots better than last time. He is on antibiotics for 6 weeks and has a PICC line in his leg to put them in. But he is looking cute they say he looks like Grandpa Johnson. What do you think?

Almost Home
Here we are at the hospital almost time to go home from the hospital. Jonah has done awesome and passing all the test in flying colors.
Jonah ready to go home. We are extremely nervous but have learned a lot. I could possibly be able to be a nurse soon without going to school. We did go home with a feeding tube and oxygen. He is really little and looks tiny in the car seat
The first day at home. Yeh!! Faithy has loved being back home and being able to hold Jonah.
Her favorite thing to do is to hold him on the boppy and watch a show. Jonah loves his little big sister.
Our little family has grown. But our next adventure sure started way earlier than we expected. We were home for 4 days and it got a little stressful at the end. Come to find out poor Jonah got staff infection in his incision. We went back to Primary Childrens on Saturday. They did another surgery at 11:00pm that night to open him up and clean out the infection. We have now been here for another week. But he is doing lots better. We will be coming home one more time and without oxygen. Jonah now has a pic line in his leg for antibiotics that he will have for six weeks. The bad thing is he will not be able to have a bath still for another 5 weeks. Lots of lotion is going to be used to make him smell good. But we are all greatful for the support and love that everyone has given us. Also greatful for Jonah and being able to be healthy as can be.
Jonah ready to get home from the hospital for the 2nd time along with Mom and Dad. We all need a vacation.

The Archibald Adventure
Well you are all probably wondering what has been going on. Well here we are on our adventure early. Yes! Jonah Theron Archibald came on January 23, 2009 at 7:05pm weighing in at 5lb 13oz. and 18 1/4 long. He was then taken over to the NICU at Primary Childrens by the life flight team. He was in the NICU for 3 days.
Here is where it was the first time we got to hold him. You could only hold him 1 time a day.
On Monday January 26, 2009 the Dr. Burch (in the picture) decided that he was ready for the heart surgery. He was in surgery for about 7 hours. They started at 7:30am in the morning.
This was him the day of surgery before they started. Isn't he cute!
We got to go up to the PICU at about 5:30pm that day and here he is. This is how he looked right after surgery.
They closed his chest on Wednesday January 28. Here he is after they finished it took them about an hour and a half before we could go back and see him again. He looks a lot better not with a bulging bandage on his chest.
Here is his little foot they haven't taken foot prints yet because of all the things he has had on his feet. But his little feet are really dry and need lotion.
This was on January 31, 2008 He is looking lots better. He has been loosing fluid to make him look skinnier. They also have given him a feeding tube so that he can start eating YEH! He doing great the nurses say and Dr.'s. Jonah is already a obedient kid and doing all that he is supposed to. He is our SUPERSTAR!
We are all doing great Faithy is staying at aunt Holli's and is doing well we call her everyday and she is usually to busy playing to want to talk to us. Thanks for everyones support and prayers we are not done yet but getting there. We love you all.
